A filter housing has first and second housing parts connected to each other to be openable and secured by a latching element. The latching element is connected to the first housing part by a moveable connection with a predetermined breaking point and is pivotable by the movable connection into the closed state. The latching element has two positioning elements and the housing parts have counter positioning elements. In the closed state, the counter positioning elements are axially arranged between the two positioning elements and the positioning elements form a stop for the counter positioning elements. The latching element has an element locking section locking at a housing locking section on the first or second housing part. The predetermined breaking point is subjected to mechanical stress such that the predetermined breaking point breaks upon locking or release of the latching element.

An intake module () for an internal combustion engine including a plurality of intake tracts () in each of which two intake pipe openings () are formed. One of the intake pipe openings () in each intake tract has a constant cross section, and the second intake pipe opening has a flow cross section which can be varied depending on the operating mode of the engine. The two intake pipe openings in each intake tract are separated from each other by a partition () which is inserted into a housing () in which the intake tracts () are formed, and a movable component () is mounted on each of the partitions () for varying the flow cross section of the second intake pipe opening () of the respective intake tract.
